Application software are the computer programs one runs on a computer to do the everyday tasks of bookkeeping, budgeting, writing a letter or thesis, collecting recipes, or viewing the photos we have taken with our digital cameras. For all the types of application software and the operating systems they run on see the information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software.
. Applications come in groupings, such as system software that interact with the computer at the very basic levels, like operating systems and utility programs giving your computer the capabilities it needs to operate with features at a level you desire for the programs you wish to run on your computer. For an excellent chart of application software, see the guide at the site at http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/application.html. Enterprise application software are programs that are used by businesses and industries and are often customizable for the particular type of business and/or industry where they are in use.
